Whether you are celebrating a birthday, wedding, graduation, promotion or even Christmas, cakes take the centrepiece, and no celebration is complete without digging into a delectable piece of cake, right?
But with so many flavours to choose from, how do you decide on the perfect cake? Should you stick with a timeless classic or try something trendy? Maybe even go for something bold and unique?
At Memo Cakery, we believe that every celebration deserves a cake that not only looks stunning but also tastes unforgettable. That’s why we’ve put this blog together, bringing you the best cake flavours you can try for birthdays, weddings, and all the special moments in between!
Classic Cake Flavours
1. Vanilla Birthday Cake:
Well, this is a simple yet classic choice, right? But, sometimes, simple is best. A vanilla cake is light and fluffy and pairs beautifully with almost any filling or frosting. In fact, most of our birthday cakes are made with a vanilla sponge cake as the base. It’s a safe choice for picky eaters and a favourite for children’s parties (with a bit of sprinkle, of course!).
2. Decadent Chocolate Cake:
The next go-to option for most is a decadent chocolate cake. A rich, moist chocolate cake never fails to impress. Whether it’s layered with smooth chocolate ganache, milk chocolate frosting, or a surprise caramel filling, this cake is a timeless crowd-pleaser.
Want to take it up a notch? Try our dark chocolate almond cake, layered with dark chocolate mousse and toasted almonds for that extra flavour punch.
3. Red Velvet Cake:
With The deep red colour, the soft texture, and the subtle cocoa flavour, red velvet cake is both elegant and delicious. If you are looking for a luxurious dessert for your birthdays and anniversaries, check out our best red velvet cake from Memo Cakery.
If you love a little tang in your desserts, this one is a winner coz we take a simple red velvet cake to the next level by layering it with strawberry cheesecake mousse and strawberry jelly with white chocolate coated crunch. Sounds delicious, right? It tastes amazing, too!
4. Black Forest Cake
Black forest cake is another timeless classic, perfect for birthdays and celebrations. It gives a nostalgic yet elegant touch with an irresistible mix of textures and flavours.
Our black forest cake is made with rich layers of chocolate sponge, mascarpone mousse, and kirsch macerated cherries, striking the perfect balance between indulgence and freshness. If you are someone who grew up enjoying traditional cakes, then this cake from our cake shop is a must-try!
Trending Cake Flavours
5. Carrot Cake
If you ask us to describe carrot cake in three words, the answer would be moist, spiced, and full of texture. Yes, though a carrot cake is a classic, it has been trending recently. The natural sweetness of the carrots, the warmth of cinnamon, and the crunch of walnuts make it a perfect balance of flavours. This cake will definitely be celebrated at any grown-up function.
Plus, if you are looking for delicious vegan cake in Auckland, our irresistible vegan carrot cake is the perfect choice. This is actually a vegan baked cheesecake, topped with a drizzle of caramel that is rich and awesome, just like you!
6. Matcha Cake
For those who love earthy, slightly bitter, yet sweet desserts, matcha cake is a must-try. Made with finely ground Japanese green tea, it’s both visually stunning and rich in antioxidants.
We at Memo Cakery have taken this classic to the next level by infusing the zesty freshness of yuzu, creating a matcha yuzu cake! The citrusy brightness of yuzu cremeux perfectly complements the deep, umami-rich notes of matcha, making it an elegant choice for birthdays and celebrations. Whether you’re a matcha lover or new to this flavour, this cake will awaken a sense of bold and refreshing taste that’s sure to impress.
7. Tiramisu Cake
Inspired by the famous Italian dessert, tiramisu cake is a coffee lover’s dream. It’s the perfect cake to celebrate someone who loves a creamy, slightly boozy, and deeply flavourful treat. Besides, this is my personal favourite too!
Our tiramisu cake at Memo Cakery is a vanilla sponge cake layered with soaked lady fingers and mascarpone marsala mousse, making it a sophisticated choice for any occasion you celebrate.
Unique and Innovative Cake Flavours
12. Pistachio Knafeh Chocolate Cake
Now, let’s talk about something truly special, and that is pistachio Knafeh chocolate cake! After the viral Knafeh chocolate cake, this cake has now become a thing worldwide.
Memo Cakery’s pistachio knafeh chocolate cake is one of our bestselling cakes that represents the perfect combo of Middle Eastern tradition and contemporary indulgence, giving you a unique flavour profile that attracts all, despite age.
The key components of this decadent cake include layers of cocoa sponge cake with smooth mascarpone cream and pistachio kataifi filling.
